HPV and HPV Vaccination Knowledge and Attitudes Among Medical Students in Alabama
AbstractIn addition to being the most common sexually transmitted infection, the human papillomavirus (HPV) is associated with six types of cancer in men and women. The HPV vaccine provides long-lasting, effective protection from high-risk HPV infection, thus serving as a means of cancer prevention. An effective healthcare provider recommendation is well-established as the most significant influence on HPV vaccine uptake, and, as emerging providers, it is critical that medical students receive comprehensive training in this area. However, the type and extent of such training for current medical students in the USA is uncle...

Improving Multi-site Interaction Through Remote Learning Technology: Report from a Training Program to Increase Underrepresented Undergraduate and Medical Students in Health Disparities Research
We report experiences from our cross-institutional cancer education program, specifically evaluating the cohorts ’ satisfaction and learning gains using various communication technologies and instructional approaches. Trainees completed a survey with questions evaluating the curriculum and technology. Trainees reported satisfaction with the flipped classroom model (FCM) content and overall program (mean scor e = 3.2, SD = 0.79), and would recommend the program to peers. Yet, despite improved program delivery, trainees felt interaction between the two sites (mean score = 1.5, SD = 0.85) and engagement with faculty (mean s...

Delivery of Cancer Survivorship Education to Community Healthcare Professionals
AbstractOur pilot study aimed to evaluate the needs of community oncology providers with regard to cancer survivorship education, develop a survivorship curriculum based on the needs assessment, and evaluate the acceptability of the Project ECHO ® (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) model for delivery of the survivorship curriculum. A needs assessment was delivered to participants in suburban community cancer practices, and a curriculum was developed based on the results. Participants were enrolled in an ECHO curriculum consistin g of 6 sessions from October to December 2019. Participants included registered nur...

Impact of Practical Online Lessons on Chinese Medical Students ’ Perception of Radiation Oncology
This study introduced an hour-long online Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) as a supplement to the basic curriculum for 8-year medical students at Peking Union Medical College and Tsinghua University in China. The students ’ personal opinions and comprehension of radiation oncology therapy were assessed through pre- and post-test questionnaires before and after the MOOC study. The results indicated that the percentage of students interested in radiotherapy increased, and their knowledge of radiotherapy significantly improved after the online MOOC study, suggesting that short-term MOOC study may stimulate students’ inte...

Stress In An Oncologist ’s Life: Present But Not Insurmountable
AbstractBurnout is a serious problem facing the majority of oncologists. Many medical students may regard oncology as depressive part of medicine. This false picture may discourage them from choosing oncology as their future specialization. To learn problems experienced by oncologists and to answer the students ’ question: is it dangerous to choose oncology? We conducted an anonymous survey among 69 oncologists. Young doctors (up to 5 years of service) accounted for 31 %, specialists 69 %, with a median length of practice of 14 years. The most frequently reported symptoms included irritability (84 % ) and tension (7...

A Cross Sectional Study on Knowledge, Attitude and Practice related to Human Papillomavirus Vaccination for Cervical Cancer Prevention between Medical and Non-Medical Students in Hong Kong
Conclusions: Medical students
in Hong Kong, especially those in senior years, had more comprehensive knowledge and positive attitudes towards
HPV vaccination than non-medical students. Yet, there was no significant difference in the practice of HPV vaccination
between medical and non-medical students. In addition to medical education, other factors such as health beliefs, risk
perception and financial considerations, may have a role in determining HPV vaccination for cervical cancer prevention.

Student Exposure to Cancer Patients: an Analysis of Clinical Logbooks and Focus Groups in Clinical Year Medical Students
AbstractDespite cancer being the leading cause of mortality, cancer education and patient exposure are lacking in many medical schools. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nature of cancer patient exposure, relative to the clinical setting for medical students on placement and to explore their experiences. Participants were asked to maintain a logbook of cancer patient encounters and were invited to attend a structured focus group upon completion of the academic year. Eleven students submitted logbooks (rr = 6.15%) and eight participated in the focus groups (4.47%). A total of 247 cancer patient encounters were ...

A Critical Appraisal and Targeted Intervention of the Oncology Experience in an Internal Medicine Residency
AbstractMost oncology education is provided to residents on an inpatient oncology service, with limited outpatient exposure. There exists considerable need to develop effective education strategies to teach resident physicians basic concepts in oncology. We created a 2-hour small-group interactive workshop, using interactive cases, followed by a number of questions regarding curability, survival, and possible treatment options. All residents were asked to fill out optional questionnaires before and after this workshop. A total of 64 residents participated in this study with an average of 16 residents per session. Significa...

Return on Investment of a Breast Cancer Screening Program in Tanzania: Opportunity for Patient and Public Education
AbstractBreast cancer is the second incident and second cause of cancer mortality among women in Tanzania due to late-stage presentation. The screening clinic at the Ocean Road Cancer Institute (ORCI) can help detect cases early and reduce cost of treatment. We calculated the return on investment (ROI) of the ORCI breast screening clinic. Screening and treatment data of all newly diagnosed breast cancer patients seen at ORCI during 2016 –2018 were abstracted from the medical records. Also, data on time, resources, and cost of screening and treatment were obtained. The cost of treating screened patients was compared with ...
